Stage Speech

Producing a resonant, physically grounded, and well-projected voice; achieving precise, clear articulation; and interpreting lyrics and scenes from opera and drama - these are the core elements of our stage speech curriculum. Because our subject is integrated into several degree programs, we work in an interdisciplinary, project-based manner. Sharing the stage with jazz musicians, reciting a modern version of *Hamlet* while doing a headstand, or rapping Pamina’s aria from Mozart’s *The Magic Flute* in English - these are the kinds of things we do here.

 

Ensemble Work

In addition to the offerings of the opera class and the art song and concert class, there are existing collaborations and connections with ensembles such as Auditiv Vokal  and the Dresden Chamber Choir. Furthermore, ensemble work serves as preparation for staged performance training.
